ABSTRACT

As Artificial Intelligence (AI) transitions from a futuristic concept to a fundamental clinical tool, the "AI-illiterate" educator faces pedagogical obsolescence. This article explores the current landscape of AI utilization in pharmacy education, highlighting that 89.8% of pharmacy students believe AI enhances healthcare professionals' access to information. We argue that teachers must master AI not merely to detect plagiarism, but to pivot toward "AI- Augmented Pedagogy." Through a blend of recent data and qualitative "hallucination" case studies, this paper outlines a roadmap for the modern pharmacy teacher [1].
